Did you feel sleepy in pregnancy

Hi everyone,
just wanted to know if you'll felt very sleepy during your pregnancy.Ever since I am pregnant I have a strong urge to go to sleep (a difficult given that I am currently working).I jsut wante dto chechk that this urge to sleep is very normal and not caasued due to laziness.

Regards,

You are very normal and not lazy at all.

This is what my doctor told me. During pregnancy, the hormone levels of progesterone in your body increases to sustain the pregnancy. This hormone has a sedative effect on your body, hence you feel more sleepy than usual. For the baby to grow properly, your body needs to rest, as most of the growth happens while you are asleep. So your body makes you feel sleepy to help the baby grow! So sleep away!

Don't know what trimester you are in, but in my 1st trimester, I was sleeping 8-9 hours a night and taking a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. it got a bit better during the second trimester. now in the 3rd, i am sleepy again, but can't sleep more than 3-4 hours at a time. but try to get atleast 8 hours at night and an hour or 2 nap during the day.

hi,

even i too used to feel very sleepy. if my husband doesn't wake me up by calling to tell me have my lunch i will be sleeping for a long time. many of my friends have told me the same thing.

Perfectly fine! I second Pooja 100%. Happy pregnancy!
